Leave A Comment

Blogs are all about conversation. I just saw a post that explained to readers how to leave a comment, and I thought that might be a good idea to have that post as well and it would be a nice addition to the content in my First Time Visitor's Guide. Please, if you have thoughts or questions on one of my posts leave a comment.

It shows me that you care.

That it inspired a thought or a question.

I learn a tremendous amount from the comments on my blog. So, please, please, leave a comment.

Have I begged enough?

Comment Policy

include personal connections to what the post is about. A comment which does not add to the conversation, runs of on an inappropriate tangent, or kills the conversation may be edited, moved, or deleted.

I try to respond to comments fairly quickly. In some cases, I wait a little while so that other people can weigh in.

How to Leave a Comment

To leave a comment, just click on the "Post a Comment" link near the bottom of each post.

It will take you to a page that looks something like:

You can provide various bits of information so we know who you are. I'd recommend not doing Anonymous comments unless that's really important. It's pretty easy to just give a name/URL combination.

by reading this post, I should leave my comments ^_^thank you Mr. Tony for explaining the importance of leaving comments.. you comments mean really that you care as well that you are interested in the topic..

We’d be interested in applying for LearnTrends Innovation Awards. I see on the form that the instructions say “nominations for innovative startups in the learning and technology field…” Although my company is not a startup (we’ve been around for 9 years), our current version of our authoring software is new and innovative. Would it be worth applying?

Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. There are quite a few posts here about market opportunities and the business of learning. Love to hear your thoughts about what you are seeing. Maybe a blog post by you?

I was very interested in your post about knowledge workers. I am an accomplished science media strategist, but am looking at a hole in my experience: social media as public relations strategy. It seems like most job descriptions now are looking for it.

I can make the case the blogs and social media communities are content hungry, and I am the quintessential content provider. But I need to show that I am moving into this world. I am am experimenting with Linked In, but find it hard to take the next step and start discussions (I took a workshop on it, have a CD from jibberjobber.com, and am looking for a boot camp of some sort). I would like to learn, but there is a flood of information and I do not know where to start. Ideally, I would get enough information to form a social media learning plan and then learn it by living it. I know my question is broad, but where does a neophyte start? I know you get a million of these.

I have just reviewed your blog and am eager to follow and post on the many relevant topics you discuss. I am one semester away from completing my masters in Education Technology Leadership. I'm also a biology lecturer at a community college and teach in F2F, blended, and online/hybrid formats. I hope to learn a great deal from your Blog!

I just shared your post with some friends of mine who are not familiar with e-learning plattforms/tools. Most of them didn't even know they could start a conversation in a site like this. Your post was very helpful, thank you :)
